Or perhaps just attach it to [urlhttp://www.super8data.com/database/cameras_lis ... ic_sp1.htm]one of these[/url] a VIC SP-1 Cine-8 - since all the engineering is already done - and the gate will give you a nice steady image.

Cool! I love to see stuff like this. I was going to build a Raspberry Pi into a Bolex 18-5L Projector for film transfer.
But then I realized I didn't really know much about programming or even how to setup the i/o ports for a signal on when to take photos. Not knowing what you are doing is a big showstopper!
I had been experimenting with a Arduino which is very similar to the Raspberry Pi.
The Arduino controls a hall sensor which triggers the camera each time a new frame is pulled into the gate, a controllable RGB led for colour balance, a LCD screen displaying speed and how many frames have been captured and it also controls the speed of the DC motor.
I know next to nothing about programming but you can find all the scripts on the internet and its just a matter of cutting and pasting in what you need.
In testing all the component parts worked fine, just as I tried to build the bigger prototype a baby came along and I've not had chance to get any further! I have a serious shortage of shed time now… 8O

My first months with a new born taught me how to get a good night's sleep in what was otherwise recorded by my wrist watch as having only been five minutes.
